The drizzle of rain beat against the window, leaving behind droplets of water. A girl in plain clothes sat quietly in front of the window, staring at the mist-shrouded mountains in the distance. The woman's usually curved black eyebrows frowned slightly at this,
The sparkling apricot eyes are all calm.
Xie Yan stood silently in the yard holding a blue oil-paper umbrella and looked at the girl not far away. He couldn't help but tighten his grip on the handle of the umbrella. His green robe was stained with strands of moisture, which made the man faint.
Qingjun and exquisite eyebrows.
"Miss Jiang, Ayun and Axuan said they wanted to eat the Qingtuan you mentioned, so they asked me to come and find you."
Jiang Hexi turned around and saw Xie Yan standing in front of the window, smiling at her. His loving peach blossom eyes were slightly raised, and his fair cheeks had deep pear dimples.
"Okay, I'll go back right away." Jiang Hexi suppressed her inner worries and smiled.
The two walked side by side back to Jiang's courtyard. From time to time, Xie Yan used his free hand to support Jiang Hexi, who was staggering due to the muddy path. Looking from a distance, two cyan figures slowly left in the misty drizzle, contrasting with the dark ink in the distance.
The mountains almost blend into one.
"Sister, you're finally back. I've been waiting for you for a long time. Didn't you promise that you would make delicious Qingtuan dumplings for us today?" When Jiang Hexi appeared, Jiang Heyun hurried over and hurriedly trotted over, pouting with his eyes in condemnation.
He accused Jiang Hexi.
"It's all my sister's fault. I encountered something today and was so busy that I forgot about it. Can I apologize to you? How about you forgive me just once?" Jiang Hexi knelt down and smiled.
He pinched Jiang Heyun's angry little round face and looked at Jiang Hexuan standing aside with a slightly apologetic look.
"Okay, I forgive you, I can't do this again!" Jiang Heyun waved his short hand pretending to be generous, and raised his chubby little chin to look at Jiang Hexi.
Jiang Hexi couldn't help but laugh, nodded slightly to Xie Yan, and then walked lightly to the kitchen.
Seeing the two people leaving together, Jiang Hexuan hesitated and followed.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Heyun also hurriedly trotted to follow.
"Sister, has the matter in the workshop been resolved?" Jiang Hexuan tugged on his little robe and asked in a low voice.
Hearing this, Jiang Hexi froze while pouring the glutinous rice noodles, and then continued his actions as if nothing had happened. He lowered his head and replied, "It's okay. The bad guys have been caught. Ah Xuan doesn't have to worry."
Although Jiang Hexuan could see that Jiang Hexi still had unfinished words, he also knew that with his small body, Jiang Hexi would not tell him the truth, so he could only suppress the anxiety in his heart and bow his head in silence.
Xie Yan touched his little head, and when Jiang Hexi wasn't paying attention, he gently shook his head at him.
"Sister, let me help you make the Youth League!" Seeing Xie Yan winking at him, Jiang Hexuan became more and more afraid to act rashly. Instead, he acted coquettishly and cutely with a smile on his face, holding Jiang Hexi's thigh and looking at her with bright eyes.
.
"Okay." Seeing how sensible his brother was, Jiang Hexi had no reason not to agree, and nodded with a smile.
Jiang Heyun took a look, hurriedly came over and hugged Jiang Hexi's other thigh, and said crisply: "Sister, I'm here to help too!"
"Okay! Ah Yun and Ah Xuan will help me knead the dough, and I will pick mugwort. Ah Yan, please help me keep an eye on them." Jiang Hexi nodded with a smile, and then looked at Xie Yan expectantly.
Seeing him nodding in agreement, he strode towards the place where the coir raincoat was placed.
A girl wearing a heavy raincoat squatted beside the muddy path and carefully picked wormwood on the roadside.
After being washed by the rain, the wormwood becomes more and more green, revealing the vitality of spring. The slim woman's slender white fingers flexibly and quickly picked the freshest top of the wormwood. Under the reflection of the two, the greener
Green and white are even whiter, dyed into an intoxicating picture of spring drizzle. For a moment, I don't know whether the wormwood is too green or the woman's hands are too white and tender.
At the other end of the mountainside, a group of men in black suddenly walked out. The tall man headed by them was fixedly looking at the girl who was working seriously with her head down not far away. He never made any movement, as if he was frozen in a painting.
It wasn't until the girl stood up to leave that the tall man came back to his senses and hurriedly chased after her. He couldn't help but shout: "Xi'er!"
Jiang Hexi turned around and looked, her dark eyebrows looking straight at the man in black who was running towards him with long strides. The hazy drizzle wet the man's thick black eyebrows raised towards his temples. Under his slightly curled long eyelashes was a pair of dark and deep eyes.
His painted eyes were looking at her without blinking.
The black-clothed attendant holding an umbrella for him hurriedly followed, but the tall man's hurried steps still failed to completely cover his tall figure, and the clothes on his left shoulder couldn't help but get wet from the drizzle.
Jiang Hexi came back to her senses and hurriedly walked up to meet them. She looked curiously at the sudden appearance of a group of people and asked in confusion: "Why are you here?"
"It's been raining for the past two days. I'm worried that as the rain gets heavier, the dike of Jingjiang River may burst. I've been busy fighting Beidi in the past two years and haven't had time to repair the dike, so I came over to take a look. Fortunately, the dike is still intact.
It's pretty strong and should last for a few more years." Huo Jingchen lowered his head and looked carefully at the girl in front of him who was no taller than his shoulders. He smiled slightly when he saw that she had not changed much.
"That's it, thank you for your hard work." Jiang Hexi nodded in sudden realization, and then nodded slightly to Huo Jingyun and the soldiers behind him.
"By the way, what are you doing here? Picking wild vegetables?" Looking at the small basket held by Jiang Hexi, Huo Jingchen pointed to the green mugwort inside and looked at her with a smile.
Jiang Hexi subconsciously touched the mugwort in the basket. After feeling the numbing touch, she couldn't help but soften her eyebrows, shook her head slightly, and said with a smile: "That's it! I promised Ayun and Axuan that I would make Qingtuan for them.
Eat, then go out and pick some mugwort and go back."
"Qingtuan? I haven't eaten it yet? I wonder if Huo has the honor to taste it?" Hearing this, Huo Jingchen's eyes lit up, a smile of success flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Jiang Hexi expectantly.
Naturally, Jiang Hexi would not refuse. She nodded with a smile, raised her chin, and motioned for the others to follow her back.
The group of people returned to the Jiang family courtyard in a grand manner.
"Brother Huo, why are you here!" Jiang Heyun, who had been struggling with the dough, shouted and ran over happily when he saw a familiar figure he hadn't seen for a long time.
Huo Jingchen hurriedly caught Jiang Heyun who was flying towards him like a small firecracker. He didn't care that his flour-stained hands had stained his black brocade robe. He lifted him up with a smile and shook him, which only made Jiang Heyun's face turn red with excitement.
"Higher! Higher! Hahahahaha!"
Seeing the madness of these two people, Jiang Hexi shook her head helplessly and looked at them tenderly.
Upon seeing this scene, Xie Yan's originally smiling eyebrows turned cold, he pursed his lips, and looked at the three people close to each other not far away without speaking.
